Here's a time line of the last Great Depression. There are certain things that should be of interest to you. 1) Roosevelt's bang up job making the government a large unwieldy mess in 1933 and 2) the planned Coup d'etat that almost happened in... 1933. The corporations have finally succeeded in the current day.

If you weren't aware of it Russia is making a strong statement worldwide by beefing up their military. Their allied with China, so why would they do something like that? Hmmmmm...
Our "War Against Terror" has cost us close to $600 Billion. How much of that do you think went to other things that have nothing to do with Iraq?
BTW, Social Security has (had) plenty of money. So much in fact, that the Bush administration "borrowed liberally" (robbed, liberally) from this safety net for the poor and middle classes, which was paid for by the poor and middle classes. How much money is there? Oh, only about
$2 TRILLION.
Guess who wants it all?
Who needs to be in office to complete the reallocation of funds (robbery)?
Where is the money going and why does Russia want, or need, to shore up it's military?
Read this article. Then decide for yourself as to what's going on.
New world order. Remember these words.
